Item Description
1.25" beautiful multicolor depicting Billy arm-in-arm with what seems to be an Italian grocer and a white bear with blue umbrella. While art is unsigned, we believe it is by W.W. Denslow, noted for his Oz illustrations and a hardcover Billy Bounce book exists crediting Denslow as both author and illustrator. Button is c. 1905 and is complete with W&H backpaper. Couple tiny gray dots barely show on outer edge of backpaper but cello is Exc. and displays Mint. We've seen only four or so.
